In which his writing style seems somewhat different. Is weird when Yahtzee says something is good, and starts almost gushing about it, and then doesn't say "just kidding, it's made of the sort of arse you see in low grade strip joints staffed entirely by zombies".

His metaphors seemed more amusing than usual as well.

You're imagining it; the only thing he did differently was slightly affect an upper-class accent.

I really, really wonder why I'm still watching these. I hardly play anything new anymore anyway and I'm completely out of sync with what's going on in the gaming industry. Plus I don't even focus enough on the video to figure out what Mr. Y's actually saying, most of the time.

Guess I'm only in it for the pretty pictures.

Just read posts on Penny Arcade and Kotaku now and then, it's how I get my news.

Heathen! Go back to worshipping your precious Amiga.
"I felt insulted until I realized that the people trying to mock me were the same intellectual titans who claimed that people would be thrown out of skyscrapers and feudalism would be re-institutionalized if service cartels don't keep getting political favors and regulations are cut down to only a few thousand pages worth, that being able to take a walk in the park is worth driving your nation's economy into the ground, that sexual orientation is a choice that can be changed at a whim, that problems caused by having institutions can be solved by introducing more institutions or strengthening the existing ones that are causing the problems, and many more profound pearls of wisdom. I no longer feel insulted because I now feel grateful for being alive and witnessing such deep conclusions from my fellows."

Was I the only one who thought that naming it like that was a bit weird? Not quite as weird as "Wii", but still...

You have to give your company or product a sassy name otherwise it just becomes redundant. Or, if you're a foreigner, just name it after yourself.

Yes yes yes, we all know how marketing works, that's not what I was getting at - I'm only trying to evaluate the current sanity level of this place.

Anyway, today I was at the video library and I passed by Heavy Rain. I picked it up and considered renting it. I then proceeded to put it back down because I realised it's pointless because I already have a game like that on my PC and the one on my PC has nakedness. Heavy Rain can't compete with that.
